Using ForgeGradle for own project

[Snowp]

Hello,

 

I am working on a project similar to Forge and Sponge, and I want to use ForgeGradle to have access to the Minecraft sources in my development environment and during compilation.

Up until now I couldn't get ForgeGradle to work with NOT creating a mod using it, any help please?

 

It would be nice if I can use ForgeGradle to create a program that can access Minecraft classes, and can be compiled and put into a jar file to run on top of Minecraft, like Forge does.

So I'm basically trying to create my own Forge, although it will not do the same.

 

Have a nice day. ?

 

P.S: I should note that I never used Gradle before, I would also rather not use it if it wasn't for the fact that ForgeGradle is on top of Gradle...

Why are you trying to "create your own Forge"?

Well, it will not do the same as Forge, but it will run on top of a Minecraft server, so it needs to be built the same way as Forge.

 

It's essentially a program that will start your Minecraft server for you and restart it automatically when it crashes, but it will also do more later on.

But to do this, I'll need access to the different Minecraft classes in my Java code, so I thought I'll use ForgeGradle to do that.

Exactly, but there is a but.

 

I had the idea that later on in my project I would want the Minecraft server to be “always online”. To do that, my program will grab the state of the (real) Minecraft server when it crashed. It will fix some things, and then my program would be able to start a different and smaller “fallback” server with that state, to keep the players connected and playing on your server. And then when the (big) server has been restarted, my program will once again connect all players that were “waiting” on the fallback server back to the big server.

 

And of course, to grab that state of the Minecraft server and to inject it into the new server, I would need access to the Minecraft package and classes in my program.

 

Thank you for spending your time on this, Merry Christmas! ?

Thank you! I know that you're sarcastic but anyway;

 

Can you please tell me how to use ForgeGradle in the way as I have described above?

[Snowp]

Okay then.

 

Thank you for your help on this, have a nice day and a happy new year in advance.
